BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0001] 1. Field of the Invention [0002] The present invention relates to an adjustable antenna bracket, and more particularly to a micro adjustable antenna bracket to adjust a satellite antenna. The micro adjustable antenna bracket can adjust precisely the direction in which the antenna points to improve signal magnitude. [0003] 2. Description of Related Art [0004] An antenna receives and transmits signals such as video, telephone and the like to and from a geosynchronous satellite. [0005] Most antennas that transmit and receive signals to and from a satellite have a concave antenna dish with a rear surface and are generally mounted with an adjustable antenna bracket. The adjustable antenna bracket generally can adjust the direction in which the satellite antenna points. [0006] Defects and shortcomings of the conventional adjustable antenna bracket follow. [0007] 1. The adjustable antenna bracket only roughly adjusts the angle of the satellite antenna. [0008] 2. The antenna dish cannot consistently be pointed precisely at the best location and angle. Therefore, the magnitude of the signal is not optimum. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION [0009] The main objective of the present invention is to provide a micro adjustable antenna bracket that can precisely adjust the angle at which an antenna dish points. [0010] A micro adjustable antenna bracket has a stationary bracket, a driver, an antenna attachment bracket and multiple fasteners. The stationary bracket has a compressible collar and a stationary panel. The compressible collar has two mounting tabs, and the stationary panel is attached to the mounting tabs and has multiple connecting holes, a pivot hole, two wings and an elongated slot. The driver is mounted under the stationary panel and has a drive block, a drive shaft, an adjustment wheel and a connecting shaft. The drive shaft is mounted through the drive block, and the adjustment wheel is attached to the drive shaft. The antenna attachment bracket is mounted pivotally on the stationary panel and has an adjustable board, a pivot pin and a drive pin. The adjustable panel has multiple curved elongated through holes, and the fasteners are mounted through the connecting holes in the mounting tabs, the connecting holes in the stationary panel and the curved elongated through holes in the adjustable panel. [0011] Other objectives, advantages and novel features of the invention will become more apparent from the following detailed description when taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS [0012] FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a micro adjustable antenna device bracket in accordance with the present invention; [0013] FIG. 2 is an exploded perspective view of the micro adjustable antenna bracket in FIG. 1; [0014] FIG. 3 is a top view in partial section of the micro adjustable antenna bracket in FIG. 1; [0015] FIG. 4 is an operational top view in partial section of the micro adjustable antenna bracket in FIG. 1; and [0016] FIG. 5 is an operational top view in partial section of the micro adjustable antenna bracket in FIG. 1. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT [0017] With reference to FIGS. 1, 2 and 3, a micro adjustable antenna bracket (10) in accordance with the present invention comprises a stationary bracket (20), a driver (30), an antenna attachment bracket (40) and multiple fasteners (50). [0018] The stationary bracket (20) attaches to a post and provides a rough azimuthal adjustment and has a compressible collar (21) and a stationary panel (22). [0019] The compressible collar (21) is a hollow, split tube, is mounted around and clamps onto a post and has a top, a bottom and two mounting tabs (23). The mounting tabs (23) are formed on and protrude radially out from the top of the compressible collar (21) opposite to each other, and each mounting tab (23) has multiple connecting holes (24). The connecting holes (24) are formed through the corresponding mounting tabs (23). [0020] The stationary panel (22) is attached to the top of the compressible collar (21) and has a distal end, a proximal end, two side edges, multiple connecting holes (25), a pivot hole (26), two wings (27) and an elongated slot (29). The connecting holes (25) are formed through the stationary panel (22) and correspond respectively to the connecting holes (24) in the mounting tabs (23). The pivot hole (26) is formed through the stationary panel (22) between the connecting holes (25) near the distal end of the stationary panel (22). The wings (27) are formed respectively on and protrude down from the side edges of the stationary panel (22) at the proximal end of the stationary panel (22) and face each other. Each wing (27) has two through holes (28). The elongated slot (29) is formed through the stationary panel (22) between the wings (27) and has two ends.
